Correcting Distortion in the Projected Image

There are four ways to correct distortion in projected images as below.
Automatic correction
Quick Setup
Press the [Quick Setup] button to fit on the screen at an aspect ratio
of 4:3.
Auto V-Keystone
Tilt the projector vertically to automatically correct distortion in the
vertical direction.
The default setting in the configuration menu is H/VKeystone.

Select "Settings" - "Keystone" - "Quick Corner" to use
Quick Corner for correction.
To change the setting from Quick Corner to H/V-Keystone,
press and hold the [Esc] button on the projector or the
remote control for about two seconds and display the
following screen where you can make the change.
Manual correction
Quick Corner
This allows you to manually correct each of the four corners of the
projected image separately.
H/V-Keystone
This allows you to manually correct distortion in the horizontal and
vertical directions independently.
The "Quick Setup", "Quick Corner", "Auto V-Keystone" and "H/VKeystone" functions project a test pattern onto the screen to correct
the projected image, so connection to a computer for preparing the
projector is not required.
Reset Quick Corner: Resets the Quick Corner settings.

Switch to H/V-Keystone: Switches the keystone correction method to
H/V-Keystone. s p.43

17
Automatically Correcting Distortion (Quick Setup)

Quick Setup automatically corrects distortion in the projected image, that
occurs when the projector is installed at a tilt to the image projection
surface, so that the image is projected at an aspect ratio of 4:3. In the case
of a screen having an aspect ratio of 4:3, the projected image is corrected
so that it fits perfectly in the screen.
Refer to Quick Start Guide for how to do the operation. Here is how to fit
the projected image within the screen.
f Fitting projected image properly inside the screen

When Quick Setup detects a "frame" (detecting 3 or more sides, or top
and bottom sides, or 2 adjacent sides) within the projection area, it
automatically corrects the image so that it fits within the "frame" at an
aspect ratio of 4:3. The "frame" means the borders of the screen,
whiteboard or blackboard.
When 3 or more sides

are detected
The status after correction by Quick Setup is stored in

memory even after the projector is turned off. When the
projector is installed at a fixed position for use, the
projected image does not need to be corrected once Quick
Setup has been performed.
When top and bottom sides, or 2

adjacent sides are detected
* When the projector is mounted from the ceiling, the image will be corrected
so that the bottom edge of the frame, such as the screen, fits inside the
projection area.
When no border
is detected
When the frame is

horizontally long
18
Quick Setup can provide effective correction when the

borders of the projection surface stand out clearly, such as
a white screen with black borders. When protecting
images on a blackboard, for example, you should stick a
large-sized sheet of white paper on the blackboard.
Quick Setup can be used to carry out correction within the
ranges given below. If the distortion is outside these
ranges, correction will not be carried out correctly.
Furthermore, if the image is distorted both vertically and
horizontally or if the zoom has been adjusted to "W", the
correction range will become narrower than the angles
given below.
- When correcting to within a border
Vertically: Approx. 45Horizontally: Approx. 20
- When projecting onto a surface without a border
Vertically: Approx. 45Horizontally: Approx. 15
Aligning the Projected Image to the Screen (Quick

Corner)
This function independently corrects each of the four corners of the
projected image to align the image with the screen.
Procedure
To operate this function on the projector's control panel, set "Setting

menu" - "Keystone" in the configuration menu to "QuickCorner".
A Press one of [w], [v], [<] and [>] on the projector.

The Quick Corner screen for selecting the four corners is
displayed.

Changing the Projected Image
20
You can change the projected image in the following two ways.
Changing by Source Search
The projector automatically detects signals being input from
connected equipment, and the image being input from the equipment
is projected.
Changing directly
You can use the remote control buttons to change to the target input
port.
Using the remote control
When two or more pieces of equipment are connected, press the

[Source Search] button until the target image is projected.
Automatically Detect Incoming Signals and Change

Security
Function
Select the security type from the items that are displayed. sEasyMP Operation Guide
When setting up security, follow the instructions from the administrator of the network system you are about to access.
Type of security
When connecting and communicating in wireless LAN mode, you can select one of the following encryption and authentication methods.
WEP
Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key)
This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match.
WPA
This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are several kinds of WPA encryption methods, this
projector uses "TKIPg". TKIP uses PSK to automatically update the encryption key at regular fixed intervals, which makes it harder to break compared to
WEP which uses a constant encryption key.
WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating between a
computer and an access point without a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server.
EAP
EAP is a protocol used for communication between clients and authentication severs. These are several protocols, such as EAP-TLS which uses electronic
certification for user authentification, LEAP which uses user ID and password, and EAP-TTLS.

For setting details, follow the directions from the network administrator of your network.
If using EAP, you need to make settings at the projector that match the authentication server settings. Check with your network
administrator for details on RADIUS settings.
Register an electronic certificate and a CA certificate to the projector. Only one set of an electronic certificate and a CA certificate can be
registered to the projector. These certificates are used with EAP-TLS.

Installation Methods
The projector supports the following four different projection methods.
Attention
A special method of installation is required when suspending the
projector from a ceiling (ceiling mount). If it is not installed
correctly, it could fall causing an accident and injury.
If you use adhesives on the ceiling mount to prevent the screws
from loosening, or if you use things such as lubricants or oils on
the projector, the projector case may crack causing it to fall from
its ceiling mount. This could cause serious injury to anyone under
the ceiling mount and could damage the projector.
When installing or adjusting the ceiling mount, do not use
adhesives to prevent the screws from loosening and do not use oils
or lubricants and so on.
Do not use the projector on its side. This may cause malfunctions
to occur.

Cleaning
You should clean the projector if it becomes dirty or if the quality of
projected images starts to deteriorate.
Cleaning the Projector's Surface

Clean the projector's surface by wiping it gently with a soft cloth.
If the projector is particularly dirty, moisten the cloth with water
containing a small amount of neutral detergent, and then firmly wring the
cloth dry before using it to wipe the projector's surface.
73
Attention
If dust collects on the air filter it can cause the internal temperature
of the projector to rise, and this can lead to problems with operation
and shorten the optical engine's service life. Clean the air filter
immediately when the message is displayed.
Attention
Do not use volatile substances such as wax, alcohol, or thinner to
clean the projector's surface. The quality of the case may change or
become discoloured.
Cleaning the Lens

Use a commercially available cloth for cleaning classes to gently wipe the
lens.
Attention
Do not rub the lens with harsh materials or subject the lens to
shocks, as it can easily become damaged.
Cleaning the Air Filter and Air Intake Vent

Clean the air filter and the air intake vent when the following message is
displayed.
"The projector is overheating. Make sure nothing is blocking the air vent,
and clean or replace the air filter." s "How to replace the air filter" p.78
If a message is frequently displayed, even after cleaning, it

is time to replace the air filter. Replace it with a new air
filter. s p.78
It is recommended that you clean these parts at least once
every three months. Clean them more often than this if
using the projector in a particularly dusty environment.
Replacing Consumables
This section explains how to replace the remote control batteries, the
lamp, and the air filter.
74
B Replace the old batteries with new batteries.

Attention
Replacing the Remote Control Batteries
Check the positions of the (+) and (-) marks inside the battery
holder to ensure the batteries are inserted the correct way.
If delays in the responsiveness of the remote control occur or if it does not

operate after it has been used for some time, it probably means that the
batteries are becoming flat. When this happens, replace them with new
batteries. Have two spare AAA-size alkali batteries ready to use when
required.
Attention
Make sure you read the Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty
Terms before handling the batteries. s Safety Instructions
C Replace the battery cover.
Press the battery compartment cover until it clicks into place.

The message "Replace the lamp.Replace the lamp." is displayed
when you start projecting.
A message is displayed.
The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following

time periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality
of the projected images. s "Brightness Control" p.43
When used continually at high brightness: About 2400 hours
When used continually at low brightness: About 2900 hours
If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has
passed, the possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When
the lamp replacement message appears, replace the lamp with a
new one as soon as possible, even if it is still working.
Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has
been used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before
the lamp warning message appears. You should always have a
spare lamp ready incase it is needed.
The lamp indicator flashes orange.
f How to replace the lamp

Flashing orange
Attention
When replacing the lamp because it has stopped illuminating,
there is a possibility that the lamp may be broken.
If replacing the lamp of a projector which has been installed on
the ceiling, you should always assume that the lamp is broken,
and you should stand to the side of the lamp cover, not underneath
it. Remove the lamp cover gently. Small pieces of glass may fall
out when the lamp cover is opened. If pieces of glass get into your
eyes or mouth, seek medical advice immediately.
Wait until the lamp has cooled down sufficiently before removing
the lamp cover. If the lamp is still hot, burns or other injuries may
result. It takes about one hour after the power has been turned off
for the lamp to be cool enough.
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.

The ratio between an image's length and its height. HDTV images have an aspect ratio of 16:9 and appear elongated. The aspect ratio for
standard images is 4:3.
A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated to provide better image quality.
Refers to images that consist of three independent signals: Y (luminance signal), Pb and Pr (colour difference signals).
Video signals that have the video brightness signals and colour signals mixed together. The type of signals commonly used by household
video equipment (NTSC, PAL, and SECAM formats). The carrier signal Y (luminance signal) and chroma (colour) signal that are
contained in the colour bar are overlapped to form a single signal.
The relative brightness of the light and dark areas of an image can be increased or decreased to make text and graphics stand out more
clearly, or to make them appear softer. Adjusting this particular property of an image is called "contrast adjustment".
An abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically assigns an IP addressg to equipment connected to
a network.
A sound format developed by Dolby Laboratories. Normal stereo is a 2-channel format that uses two speakers. Dolby Digital is a 6channel (5.1-channel) system which adds to this a centre speaker, two rear speakers, and a sub-woofer.
ESS is an abbreviation of Extended Service Set (enhanced service set). ESSID is an identification number for connecting with a
counterpart on a wireless LAN. Wireless communication is possible between devices that correspond to ESSID.
This is a server (router) for communicating across a network (subnet) divided according to subnet masksg.
An abbreviation for High-Definition Television that refers to high-definition systems which satisfy the following conditions.
Vertical resolution of 750p or 1125i or greater (p = progressiveg, i = interlaceg)
Screen aspect ratiog of 16:9
Dolby Digitalg audio reception and playback (or output)
A method of image scanning whereby the image data is divided into fine horizontal lines that are displayed in sequence starting from left
to right and then from top to bottom. The even-numbered lines and odd-numbered lines are displayed alternately.
A number to identify a computer connected to a network.
A method of image scanning whereby the image data from a single image is scanned sequentially from top to bottom to create a single
image.
The light-emitting element of a display maintains the same luminosity and colour for an extremely short time. Because of this, the image
must be scanned many times per second to refresh the light-emitting element. The number of refresh operations per second is called the
Refresh rate and is expressed in hertz (Hz).
An abbreviation for Standard Definition Television that refers to standard television systems which do not satisfy the conditions for
HDTVg High-Definition Television.
An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, which is the protocol for monitoring and controlling devices such as routers
and computers connected to a TCP/IP network.
This is the IP addressg for the destination computer used for error notification in SNMP

In this mode, wide-screen images in 16:9 mode are compressed in the horizontal direction so that they are stored on the recording
medium as 4:3 images.
When these images are played back by the projector in squeeze mode, they are restored to their original 16:9 format.
An international standard for colour intervals that was formulated so that colours that are reproduced by video equipment can be handled
easily by computer operating systems (OS) and the Internet. If the connected source has an sRGB mode, set both the projector and the
connected signal source to sRGB.
This is a numerical value that defines the number of bits used for the network address on a divided network (subnet) from the IP address.
A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) ^ 600 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers.
A video signal which has the luminance component and colour component separated to provide better image quality.
Refers to images that consist of two independent signals: Y (luminance signal) and C (colour signal).
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting
images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the phases of these signals (the relative position of the crests and the troughs in
the signal) is called Synchronization. If the signals are not synchronized, flickering, blurriness, and horizontal interference occur.
The signals output from computers have a specific frequency. If the projector frequency does not match this frequency, the resulting
images are not of a good quality. The process of matching the frequency of these signals (the number of crests in the signal) is called
Tracking. If tracking is not carried out correctly, wide vertical stripes appear in the signal.
